Last month, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed a charge sheet against the actress naming her as an accused in the scam.
For the unversed, Chandrashekhar is an accused in the 200-crore extortion racket. He executed it from jail by bribing jail officials in crores. The ED stated that he used a wide network to launder money. He’d use it to buy movable and immovable properties.
A few months back, the ED attached assets belonging to the actor and also questioned her. The agency in April provisionally attached ₹ 7 crore assets of the actor under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
